Consumer Description
I was driving home from work one afternoon on a two lane highway. All of a sudden a warning on the dash popped saying "Hybrid system failure pull over immediately" and the car started beeping loudly. I lost engine power, brakes and steering.....I'm lucky to be alive today. No one was on the road so I didn't get rear ended when the car came to a complete stop. I tried to restart the vehicle numerous times, however when I would shift into drive the car simply wouldn't move. I put it in neutral and pushed it to the side of the road and called a tow truck. Dealership maintenance quoted me around 8K to replace some of the hybrid system but it seemed they didn't even know what was wrong with it. The car is 8 years old with around 132,000 miles on it. I expected it to last a longer. I'm amazed reading so many other entries with the same hybrid system failure and surprised Hyundai hasn't killed someone yet with this faulty design. If I had been on the interstate portion of my commute I would be dead. Don't buy these cars if you value your own wellbeing or care about any of your loved ones.
